Timber Closed-Frame Panel

Closed-Panel Timber Frame is a good example pre-fabrication or Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). It is closely related to the open-frame principle but where the structure is incorporated within a pre-fabricated panel. The panels are made and assembled in a factory from where they are transported to site. Nearly everything including insulation, doors, windows, services conduits can be pre-fitted. By assembling in the factory. much greater attention can be paid to detailing with tighter margins of error - useful when constructing a high performance building.
